ACCEPTANCE FACILITY
What is an Acceptance Facility?
A passport acceptance facility is a government office that authenticates and verifies your identity for a new application. These are commonly but not limited to post offices, public libraries and clerks of court. It is mandatory to appear in person in order to have the application approved for processing. All acceptance facilities have a processing fee of $35 for their services.
